Li Hong ordered the army to be stationed in Changping City, and he and Xian Yufu rushed to Jicheng with a hundred guards to meet with Youzhou Mu Liu Yu. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ no advertisement∮ the two sides negotiated on the garrison of Youzhou after the withdrawal of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Liu Yu hoped that Li Hong would leave Zhonglang General Yan Rou to lead the county soldiers and border troops in Youzhou to guard the frontier. Li Hong said that next year's Northern Xinjiang War must be fought, and I plan to write to Your Majesty and let Lord Yan Rouyan sit in Guangning as the general of Karasuma Zhonglang and lead the Karasuma troops to the north to fight, so I think the responsibility of the commander of the Youzhou Army to guard the frontier should be done by Lord Gongsun Zhan. Liu Yu sighed and said I don't think so, I also want him to lead the army to sit in Youzhou, but his attitude towards the Karasuma people is really unacceptable, he opposes appeasement, and only knows how to kill with bullets, especially this time he was trapped in Guanzi City by the Karasuma people, and the grudge between the two sides has become deeper, and I am afraid that the future will ......

Xian Yufu comforted and said that after the success of the adult's appeasement, the Karasuma people in Liaoxi and Liaodong will no longer be rebellious, and there is no excuse for Gongsun to kill him. This time, he violated the military order and attacked without authorization, not to mention that he was trapped, and he also buried the lives of 5,000 soldiers in Youzhou, and this crime is more than enough to cut off his head. Although we jointly wrote to His Majesty to intercede on his behalf and save his life, his demotion is certain. This incident was a heavy blow to him, and Lord Gongsun would definitely accept this painful lesson and would not disobey the military order again. I think the adults should give him a chance.

Li Hong also persuaded two sentences, saying that now among the generals in Youzhou, Gongsun Chan can bear this heavy responsibility, and the other is Lord Tian Kai. Li Hong said that if Tian Kai could be released back by the Karasuma people, the adults could let Tian Kai guard Yuyang and Gongsun Zhan guard Youbeiping. In this way, the northern border fortress of Youzhou is garrisoned by Yan Rou, the central border fortress is garrisoned by Tian Kai, and the eastern Lulongsai and Liaodong in Liaoxi are garrisoned by Gongsun Zhan.

Liu Yu agreed with Li Hong's suggestion, and he said very sadly that the soldiers of Youzhou have fought for more than two years since Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun joined the Karasuma rebellion, and fought from Youzhou to Jizhou and from Jizhou to Youzhou, and made countless military exploits. I, the Shangguan, did not do a good job, and I am sorry for those soldiers who killed the enemy in blood.

Li Hong persuaded, let's write to Your Majesty again, count the exploits of the soldiers in Youzhou, and let Your Majesty open the net. As for the defeat in Liaoxi, especially the siege of Guanzi City by Gongsun Zhan, we can explain it this way, saying that the successive vicious battles on the battlefield in Liaoxi effectively contained the forces of the Karasuma people, and without these vicious battles in Liaoxi, it would be difficult for us to successfully force the Xianbei people to recover the territory of the Han Dynasty. Do you think that's okay? Xian Yufu said with a smile, now the person in charge of Shangshutai is Gongsun Zhan's teacher, Master Lu Zhilu, and he will not embarrass his disciple in the future. If Gongsun Chan is exempted from responsibility, everyone else will be fine, and everyone will still be rewarded with a seal.

When Liu Yu thought of Lu Zhi, he immediately smiled and clapped his hands in celebration. The three of them immediately jointly wrote again to ask for war merits for the soldiers of Youzhou.

When the Son of Heaven came to the Holy Decree again, his tone was very stern, and he urged Li Hong to immediately withdraw his troops and return to Bingzhou, and withdraw as soon as he saw the decree. Li Hong did not dare to disobey the order, and the four lieutenants of Zhao Yunwen, Jiang Wu, and Pang De of Liaoxi each led their troops back to Changping City day and night to join the army. At the same time, Li Hong ordered the king of Shanggu Karasuma to be stationed in Guangning temporarily, and the Daijun Karasuma lord Ran Ran to temporarily stay in Macheng, and Li Hong told them that before the Han army took over the two cities, they would defend the border pass.

Lou Lu and Ran Ran attacked Danhan Mountain with jade this time, and they gained a lot, and they almost plundered Danhan Mountain. The two robbed the property and took revenge, and the next thing was to prevent the Xianbei people from entering the country to retaliate. So when the two of them heard that Li Hong was going to lead the army back to the state, they were a little nervous. Jade comforted them and said, "I tell you one thing, but you must keep it a secret." This time, the general returned to the state to reorganize the army to fight in the fortress, firstly to recover the border counties, and secondly, to quell the Xiongnu rebellion and eliminate Tuoba Feng. As long as the Xianbei people are driven to the depths of the prairie and the northern Xinjiang is peaceful, you will be carefree. However, it is possible that you will have to go into battle with the general. Lou Lu and Ran Ran are overjoyed. Lou Lu said that every time the Great Han Kingdom went out to fight the Xianbei people, we Karasuma people participated. But this time is different, this time following the general, we can not only win the battle, but also get a lot of money and money.

At the end of this month, the Karasuma people were appeased and surrendered, and Qiu Liju deliberately sent Tian Kai back to Feirucheng in order to show his sincerity. At the same time, Su Muyan and Badun retreated from Guanzi City with Karasuma Iron Cavalry, and the governor Shi Weiyu immediately entered the city with livestock to comfort the army. Gongsun Chan and his white horse were beaten badly, and more than half of the iron horsemen were killed and wounded. During the more than five months that Guanzicheng was besieged, Gongsun Zan and his soldiers ate the grain and horses, and after eating the war horses, they boiled the saddle and leather shield, and finally ate all the leather armor and leather boots. Fortunately, the Karasuma people were overwhelmed by Zhao Yun, Jiang Wu and Pang De's iron horses, otherwise, they could hold out for a while. For the Karasuma people, killing Gongsun Chan was far more important than surrendering. There is a way to live if he is appeased, but Gongsun Chan will not die, and the Karasuma people will still be retaliated and slaughtered by him after being appeased. If they can hold out until after the heavy snowfall, Gongsun Chan and his soldiers will either starve to death or freeze to death.

After Gongsun Zhan experienced this catastrophe of life and death, his whole person changed, not only was he hungry and skinny, but even his previous high-flying and domineering character was gone. But he was still so brave and fearless, and he took the soldiers who survived the catastrophe in the city after only three days of rest before returning to the fat city. Then he replenished grain and grass and war horses in Feirucheng, and on the occasion of the New Year, he led the iron cavalry to Liaodong again. He wants to redeem his sins by recovering Liaodong.

After Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun heard the news, they abandoned the city and fled to Xianbei in the east.

The army went north to Juyongguan one after another and embarked on the road back, and the camp in Changping City was empty, leaving only the Bingcao camp and the black panther Yicong camp.

Li Hong sat in the big tent, with a pot of charcoal, and was carefully checking the map of northern Xinjiang. Since he returned to the camp from Jicheng, he has never left the big tent, and has been thinking about the upcoming battle out of the fortress. Tian Chou and Tian Yu walked in one after the other. Li Hong stood up and warmly beckoned them to sit beside him.

After Tian Yu helped Yan Wuxing capture Yongnu City, he quickly organized manpower to stabilize Yongnu City, so that Yongnu City could restore normal order in a very short period of time, which made Yan Wuxing very impressed. He highlighted Tian Yu's merits in the battle report and praised Tian Yu's talent. During the period of time that Yan Wuxing was stationed in Yongnu City, the two became very good friends. When Yan Wuxing left the camp with Yan Rou and went to Shanggu County, he mentioned Tian Yu to Li Hong again, he thought that Tian Yu's intelligence was definitely not worse than Li Wei, and hoped that Li Hong could recruit Tian Yu to the Zhenbei General's Mansion as Pengshi.

Li Hong didn't notice Tian Yu at first, but when he was rewarding the meritorious soldiers, he said to Liu Yu, saying that this person was good and helped us capture Yongnu City. Liu Yu said that the imperial court punished the government officials who surrendered to the rebels, and they were all beheaded, and there was no mercy to talk about. However, since he has made meritorious service, even if he has atoned for his sins, he should be exempted from his sins. Li Hong didn't take it to heart, and immediately forgot about Tian Yu. Yan Wuxing has been thinking about this matter, after he left Youzhou to defeat the Pingcheng of Yanmen County, he asked about it in the battle report, saying that if the general does not use it, I will find him myself. I'm also a lieutenant now, and I need a talented Sima under me. Li Hong suddenly remembered Tian Yu at this time, and he actually forgot what Yan Wuxing said. He hurriedly ordered Tian Chong, who stayed in Jicheng, to recruit Tian Yu as Pengshi in the name of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and asked him to go on a trip to Yongnu in person. Tian Yu heard that General Zhenbei was going to recruit himself as Pengshi, of course he was very happy, and when he saw that it was Captain Tian Zhong who came to invite him personally, he was even more moved to bow to the ground. He was only nineteen years old, but General Zhenbei asked a sixty-seven-year-old man to invite him, and he really couldn't afford it. Tian Yu has been following Tian Zhong to deal with the affairs of the Bingcao camp, and only after arriving at the Changping camp did he see this world-famous leopard general.

Li Hong looked at the young and handsome Tian Chou and Tian Yu beside him, and said with a smile: "I asked you to go home and take a look, why did you come back so soon?" If you go to the state and merge with the state, you may not be able to come back in a year or two. ”

Tian Yu replied respectfully: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and my parents will be more reluctant to stay at home for a long time, so it's better to leave early." There is a concern of Lord Lao. ”

Li Hong smiled and asked Tian Chou, "Is your grandfather okay?" ”

Tian Chou replied: "It's not good, in the past two years in Xu Wushan, the old man has suffered a lot, his health is much worse, and he has been bedridden. Grandpa said that he might not live long and wanted to meet his uncle. It's a pity that the old man is busy with official business and has never had time to go home. ”

Li Hong smiled and couldn't help but think of the past four years ago. That time, he was going to lead his troops south to kill Zhang Niujiao, and before leaving, he and Tian Chong, Zheng Xin, Leizi and others went back to Xu Wucheng to visit Xiaoyu, and returned to Lu Longsai to say goodbye to those dead comrades. At that time, Tian Chou's grandfather was hospitable, and the group lived in his house. The old man was still very healthy at that time, but I didn't expect that a few years later, the old man would ......

Li Hong suddenly remembered something. He once swore that he would move the remains of Li Song, Wu Zhao, Iron Hammer, and Wooden Stake buried on Hengling, as well as the remains of many Lu Longsai soldiers who died on the Hengling battlefield, back to Lu Longsai, so that they could be buried with Lu Longsai's comrades-in-arms and sleep together, but he had returned to Youzhou for nine months, and he had never thought about it.

Li Hong was remorseful and very guilty. The laughter of Risong came to his mind, and his thoughts flew to the savannah outside Lulongse. He rescued Ri Song from the Karasuma people, and Ri Song took himself to Lu Longsai, where he ate two large bowls of rice from the Great Han Kingdom for the first time, which was the best thing he had ever eaten since he could remember. Then there was the thrilling battle of Lu Longsai, the tragic and bloody battle almost took the lives of all the soldiers of Lu Longsai, Tian Jing, Wang Jin, Wu Fei, Ji Ming, Xiaodao, Datou, countless familiar faces swept through Li Hong's heart in an instant, the sound of fighting, the sound of war drums, the fire that soared to the sky, and the big sword that stood tall suddenly rushed into Li Hong's body. Li Hong trembled and was in pain, and his eyes were tightly closed. Li Hong's eyes were dark, but Ji Ming's voice was clearly heard in his ears, "Light rain...... Light rain ......"

Xiaoyu's big mournful eyes suddenly occupied Li Hong's entire body and mind.

Li Hong's heart ached, and he couldn't hold back the worry in his heart anymore, he opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Tian Chou and said word by word: "I want to go back to Lulongsai." ”

In the camp, Pound with a hundred black panther reists was ready to go. Li Hongtian Chong Zheng Xin and Tian Chou hurriedly walked out of the big tent and were about to get on the horse.

Xian Yu Fu Zhu Mu Song Wen hit the horse like flying.

"Where are you going, General?" Zhu Mu asked loudly, "Tomorrow morning, the army will leave Changping and go to Juyong Pass." ”

"I'm going to Luronse." Li Hongfei got on his horse, turned back to Xian Yufu and said, "You lead the army first, and I will catch up with you later." If the delay is too long, we will meet in Jinyang. ”

Zhu Mu wanted to say something, but hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything. Li Hong smiled apologetically at him, "I know I violated military discipline, but I do need to go back to Lulongse." I'm going to see those dead comrades, I'm going to say goodbye to them, I will probably never come back after leaving Youzhou this time. ”

Zhu Mu's face was sad and he nodded. Who can be sure that he will be able to come back?

Xian Yufu smiled bitterly and said, "Do you still want to go to Hengling?" ”

Li Hong sighed: "This time to Lu Longsai, I will visit the Tian family by the way, and ask the Tian family to transport the remains of the fallen soldiers on Hengling back to Lu Longsai. I promised Li Song, I must do it. ”

Xian Yufu stretched out his hand and patted Li Hong's back hard, "You go, accompany Xiaoyu, and the old man, and have a good New Year." ”

Li Hong held Xian Yufu's hand and said gratefully: "There is Brother Lao Yuxing." ”

"People, Hengyu is already very close to the border, you still have to bring three hundred black panther followers." Xian Yufu said, "Be careful. ”

Li Hong shook his hand, turned his face to look at Tian Chong and said with a smile: "Uncle, let's go." ”

Tian Zhong excitedly whipped down and shouted, "Children, let's go, go home......"

Gu Yu still lives in Xu Wucheng's small cross-courtyard. When she opened the door and saw Li Hong standing at the door, her eyes widened in disbelief. At that moment, great joy hit her heart like a flood that burst the embankment, and she stopped breathing, and tears blurred her eyes in an instant, and crystal clear tears rolled down her delicate cheeks, and those clear and mournful eyes were as hazy and unreal as the mist floating on the lake in the morning.

Li Hong's heart trembled, and all kinds of pity and guilt suddenly welled up in his heart, and at this moment, he suddenly realized his cruelty and cowardice.

When he hugged the dead Ji Ming and cried bitterly, how could he have thought that he would break his promise and push a weak woman to the brink of life and death. If there is no care from the Tian family, can I still see Xiaoyu, can I still walk into Lu Longsai, and stand in front of the grave of my comrades-in-arms with the face to pay tribute to the resentful dead?

The wind and snow are like a beautiful dream, passing away with the wind, without a trace, and I don't know when the old dream will reappear. And the light rain is like a cloud in the sky, a duckweed on the water, fluttering, helpless. The sorrow in the clouds, the tears on Ping, need someone to comfort and melt. If you let that cloud drift lonely between heaven and earth, let that duckweed tremble helplessly in the wind and rain, how will you forget these eyes, how will you forget the cry in your heart? With the erosion of the years of beacon fire and the loss of the lives of comrades-in-arms, the burden of this soul has become heavier and heavier, more and more fragile, and more and more painful. Even if I fall in the future, how will I forget the countless sorrows and regrets in my heart?

Li Hong walked in the door, gently held Gu Yu's tender little hand, smiled slightly, and walked towards the courtyard. Gu Yu let Li Hong take her hand and followed behind blankly, as if in a dream for a while.

"It's the New Year, I'll come back to see you."

Tian Chongle smiled happily, and walked in with Zheng Xin Tian Chou after him. Pound stood outside the door and commanded the panther to spread the guard from all sides.

When Xu Wucheng's people saw General Zhenbei coming, they were extremely excited and swarmed over, and soon surrounded the alley. Xu Wucheng's government officials immediately heard the news, and a group of people squeezed into the alley with great effort. There were many iron horsemen in the alley, and there were officers of the military Sima level everywhere, and when they reached the door, they saw a young captain standing at the door, and Xu Wucheng's county commander and the subordinates in the mansion were a little frightened. Pound hurriedly greeted each other and saluted each other. The county commander said very excitedly, he didn't know that General Zhenbei was coming, and it was rude. Then he said a lot of flattery, and then asked to meet with General Zhenbei. Pound said that it was not easy for the general to go home once in more than four years, so it was better not to bother for the time being. We'll talk about it tomorrow. The county commander saw that the captain was very humble and polite, and the official was a lot taller than him, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to take people away. He walked out of the alley and told the crowd to disperse, but no one listened to him at all, instead shouting "Leopard, leopard ......". The county commander was startled, and it was strange that he shouted that he would not kill his head, so he ran away in a hurry.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Li Hong rushed to Lulongsai with Xiaoyu and a group of soldiers. The 2,000 soldiers stationed in Lulongsai lined up to greet each other, and the atmosphere was very warm. The next day, Li Hong went up the mountain to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers of Lu Longsai.

Xiaoyu stood in front of Ji Ming's tomb for a long time and was reluctant to leave.

Li Hong stood beside her and suddenly said: "I came back this time, first, to see my comrades-in-arms, when I will come back next time, and whether I can come back, it is difficult to say." He looked at the sad light rain and hesitated, "In addition, I want to say to Brother Justice, I want to take you away." ”

Xiaoyu's thin delicate body trembled slightly, and then she turned her head to look at Li Hong, the expression on her face was very surprised and hesitant, "Big Brother Leopard......"

Li Hong stretched out his hand to hold Xiaoyu's hands, and his heart suddenly relaxed, and the burden that he had been suppressing so much that he could hardly breathe suddenly disappeared with the words just now.

"Come with me, to Jinyang." Li Hong said emotionally, "This is not only because of my commitment to justice, but also because this concern is now unbearable for me." Do you know who came to mind first when I heard about the Youzhou rebellion in Jinyang? It's you, I'm worried that I'll lose you, and if I lose you, I'll have to live in self-blame and pain for the rest of my life. I have the power to protect you, I have the ability to take care of you, why should I keep you here? When I left Youzhou, I really didn't have the ability to do it, but I have it now. Even if you reject me today, I will take you away. Whether it's for me, for you, or for the righteous brother under the Nine Springs, you have to go with me. ”

Xiaoyu hung her head and listened quietly, with a faint layer of sadness on her delicate face, letting tears spill all over her clothes.

Li Hong looked at Xiaoyu's eyes, watched the teardrop hanging on Xiaoyu's long eyelashes slowly fall onto the back of his hand, and for the first time in his life, he felt the endless pain and broken hope contained in Xiaoyu's warm tears. Li Hong's heart twitched violently, and the hands holding Xiaoyu gradually became stronger, as if Xiaoyu would disappear in front of his eyes like a broken teardrop.

"Brother Leopard, you are a general...... Xiaoyu looked at the eye-catching scar on Li Hong's hand, her eyes were full of tears, and she said helplessly and sadly, "You are a general......

Li Hong smiled and stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, "When the battle is over, I will not be a general, and I can accompany you back to Lulongsai." ”

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Hong took Xiaoyu Zheng Xin Pound and Black Panther Yi from returning to Xu Wucheng's Tian family to celebrate the New Year.

Tian Zhong has been staying in the Tian family to accompany the old master Tian Xing, and the two old comrades-in-arms have talked a lot. When Tian Xing heard that the Han army was about to leave the fortress, he was very excited and asked Tian Chong, will he hit Sunset Plain? Tian Zhong said that the general has already said that it is not easy to fight out of the fortress, and it can only be done once in many years, so this time we must fight to the sunset and bring the remains of tens of thousands of soldiers back to our homeland. Tian Xing's old tears were full of tears and cheers. Out of the jam, you have to kill a few more Hu people for me, and you have to fight for the big man.

At the banquet, Tian Xing asked Li Hong with a smile: "When the general comes back this time, do you want to take Xiaoyu away?" ”

Li Hong nodded, and thanked him: "For more than four years, Xiaoyu has been taken care of by the Tian family, and I am grateful, and I will repay him if I have the opportunity in the future." ”

Tian Xing said with a smile: "The general's words are serious. In fact, if the general doesn't take Xiaoyu away, I have to find a way to send her to Jicheng. Xu Wucheng was close to the side plug, it was too unsafe. Four years ago, the general brought more than a dozen people home, and as a result, the news of Xiaoyu was immediately spread. In the past few years, the Hu people have tried to arrest her many times, but we have repelled them. This time, the general took more than 100 people home, you can think about it, how will Xiaoyu live here in the future? The General should have taken her a long time ago. ”

Li Hong thanked him again. Tian Xing said: "The general is polite. My grandson Tai served under the general's tent, and I asked the general to take care of him. ”

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Hong took Xiaoyu and all the soldiers to bid farewell to the Tian family and went north out of the city.
